That's a PRETTY popular trope in action movies.<br /><br />As we all know, for that to happen the gun's recoil would have to have an equal force, also sending the shooter flying backwards. Rarely happens in movies though.Mikko Viinikkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045016331246302112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-82000831614403262542014-11-11T19:07:47.841-06:002014-11-11T19:07:47.841-06:00Nice!

If you want to talk <i>BTTF</i>, you should rather note that even bumping shoulders with your parents would erase you from existence and replace you with a sibling (a different sperm out of millions would have made it). Also, does the DeLorean travel through space as well as time? Because the Earth orbits the sun and spins, so Hill Valley in 1955 is in a very different cosmic location than 1985 Hill Valley. But even if the flux capacitor tries to take that into account, there's no way it could calculate said motions with the perfect precision of keeping a car <i>on</i>, but not significantly under or over, a given road.<br /><br />And Chaybee, I think you meant Thomas Dolby said it best.

I'm also reminded of The Avengers when, during the climactic battle sequence at the end of the film, all of our heroes are simply pressing their fingers to their ears to talk to one another. I mean sure, but c'mon.<br /><br />At the end of the day, the lousy science doesn't really matter if the basic story is good. In the case of BttF, the story is the best, so who cares?Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284575713661622624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-84958915282793685232014-11-11T14:32:55.473-06:002014-11-11T14:32:55.473-06:00Greg Kelly said it best<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln1OJBgn6f8" rel="nofollow">Greg Kelly said it best</a>Chaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696179838579647187noreply@blogger.com
